Orlando Now Protects Gender Identity

More good work done for LGBT right by Equality Florida. EF made this announcement on their Facebook page.

BREAKING: The amendment to add Gender Identity and Expression to the City of Orlando's Human Rights Ordinance passed unanimously on its second reading; it will now become law. Kudos to Equality Florida Transgender Inclusion Director Gina Duncan for shepherding this important change. Thank you to Mayor Dyer, Commissioner Sheehan, and the entire commission for your leadership.

Props go to the Orlando having political leaders that didn't succumb to political pressure or homophobia. This is a big victory for the transgender community.
